Definitely check the TWs from multiple sources. 
The story took me on a rollercoaster of emotions and I wanted to dislike this book, a lot. Especially after it made ugly cry for hours. But I can’t. It is just so beautifully written.
5 ⭐️ but be prepared to be sad and heartbroken.

Enchanting book, as you keep reeding you feel the shift in the characters, you change your view on the plot as the characters change. The writing is magical and ever so descriptive, although at time it felt as though the writer was intentionally adding sadness to the book, which sometimes felt forced. Overall a great read, something to read slowly, to mull over.
